Famous quotes containing the words single and/or electronic:
“The passion to condense from book to book
Unbroken wisdom in a single look,
Though we know well that when this fix the head,
The minds immortal, but the man is dead.”

“Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
